The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What players say

Players say Nessy the Robot is a short retro platformer that nails the NES aesthetic with good sprite work, music, and controls, but the levels feel empty, enemies are repetitive, and both regular bosses and the final boss are too easy. The game can be beaten in under an hour, leaving many feeling there is little reward or reason to play.
